Dublin, Ohio, is decking its halls with something more than just boughs of holly this holiday season. The City is making a concerted effort to ensure that as residents and visitors indulge in the yuletide cheer, they do so safely, especially when alcohol is involved. In a move that promotes both festive fun and public safety, Central Ohio Safe Ride and the City of Dublin have partnered up to offer discounted Lyft rides between Dec. 22 and Jan. 3, 2026. This partnership aims to reduce the risks associated with drinking and driving during one of the busiest celebration periods of the year.
The initiative, designed to encourage attendees of holiday festivities to leave their cars at home, culminates in a practical solution: discounted ride-share services that help partygoers get around without getting behind the wheel. "When you plan to drink, especially during the holidays, plan ahead," Scott Neff, Chair of Central Ohio Safe Ride and Operating Partner of Fado Irish Pub & Restaurant, stressed in a statement acquired by Dublinohiousa.gov. The discounts offer up to $10 off two Lyft rides for those picked up or dropped off within an 8-mile radius of Bridge Park in Dublin. Celebrators taken by the holiday spirit, without having to fret about parking or road safety, can take advantage of this offer.
To make use of this holiday present, revelers simply need to download or open their Lyft app, enter the promo code DUBSAFE25 after selecting "Add Lyft Pass" from the "Payment" section, and then request a ride as usual. This promo, valid for a limited time during the campaign period, is available while supplies last, so those interested are encouraged to act quickly.
This festive season, it's not just about finding the perfect gift or the coziest spot by the fireplace. It's also about getting to and from your celebrations without incident. As people glide across the ice at Riverside Crossing Park or capture memories under the Dublin Link holiday lights, utilizing the Mega Holiday Safe Ride effort serves as a simple yet profound choice. It ensures that the holidays remain merry and bright for everyone - free from the added worry of driving under the influence and the search for parking that often becomes more elusive than Santa on Christmas Eve.
The City of Dublin and Central Ohio Safe Ride's history of collaboration continues to benefit residents and visitors alike, offering responsible choices for transportation. It's all part of an ongoing commitment to public safety and communal welfare.
